Communities continue to dig out after five tornadoes touched down in areas of New Jersey and Delaware this past weekend.
"This morning we got up and it was a real eye opener," local resident, Mike Veneziano told NBC10."You don't expect that kind of thing here."
Crews worked early in the morning cleaning up fallen trees, including some that have stood for more than a century, after a tornado moved for about six miles through this community. In nearby Jackson Township, the local government called the region a disaster area on Sunday due to storm damage and the confirmed tornado.
Also, Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township is closed until Wednesday due to the township's declaration.
